I am so happy to share this interview with you all! Today's guest is Laura Swanson who is the mom to an AMAZING girl named Harper. Harper had her first seizure the day of her 5th birthday party, and Laura shares their journey and how this has affected her as a mom. You will hear about:

- What it's like having a child with epilepsy

- How this has affected her mental health, particularly anxiety and OCD

- The importance of advocating for your child

- The need for self-care and expressing your needs as a mom (ALL moms, not just those of kids with medical needs)
